Hi I'm trying to have the sprite change graphics automatically using a script.  The instructions are as follows:


"

Code:

#	 To change sprites:
#
#	 <ge: actor_id, sprite_name, sprite_index>
#
#	 actor_id: The ID of the actor to be change graphics.
#	 sprite_name: The filename of the sprite graphic to be placed.
#	 sprite_index: The index of the sprite graphic to be placed.
#
#	 To change face:
#
#	 <fe: actor_id, face_name, face_index>
#
#	 actor_id: The ID of the actor to be change face.
#	 face_name: The filename of the face graphic to be placed.
#	 face_index: The index of the face graphic to be placed.
#
#	 Notes:
#	 * If you use a single-sprite file (files with $ at the
#	 beginning), you may also add it but the index must be 0.
#	 * If the notetag is not fit in a single line, shorten the filename or
#	 use the other method below.
#	 * You may put many notetags for the different actors at the same
#	 equipment.

The actor_id for it would be 001.  The filename of the sprite graphic would be "spritexb-8028.png". The Index of the sprite graphic is where I am lost.  How do I find the index? What does it look like when you type it out?


Also would the sprites below be counted as a single-sprite file or since it has many sprites it also has many indices?


I provided some sprites below as examples.  Where the sprite changes "armor" using this script.


Here's a link where I found the script.
